Arum:Cotto-Pacquiao Will Far Exceed Mayweather-Marquez and Could Approach 2.2 million

[Chuckguy]

in my opinions
cotto brings in = 1 mil ppv buyers
pac brings in = 1.5 mil
a record 2.5 mil ppv buys, ties hoya - pbp

Cotto cant bring in 1 mil
more like 550k and
pac 750k
total 1.3 mil
me thinks
hahah

[Kevin Jesus]

That would be great if at least did 1mill that way there would be no purse-swinging in the Mayweather-Pacquiao negotiations, just a fair 50-50 agreement.

2.2Mill sounds farfetched but Pacquiao is a star now so it wouldn't surprise me.

My final prediction is 800k, around that ball park.

[King Jaffe Joffer]

If this goes over a million I would be shocked. Cotto has a fan base but he isnt a household name like Mayweather, nor is Pac. I think this will do a less than Hatton vs Pac

Pacquiao is a house hold name. He just isn't American.

How many did Pac Vs Hatton do Stateside?

[GTR]

remember when shaefer guaranteed floyd/marquez will beat oscar/floyd? yup that was a joke. I know this fight will surpass floy/marquez.

Floyd couldnt even sell out mgm after 5 months of promotion.

Link or didn't happen.

Only thing Schaefer said was that it will sell more than mill PPVs which it did(1.1mill).

[tesla_power]

If this happened, two things would happen.
1)FMJ would have to eat his own words a bit.
2) Every Pac fan who has been spouting how PPV numbers are not important would be spouting these ppv numbers as proof as to why he should get the lions share.

LOL. I'm a pac fan and though I don't really care much about ppv, I can see that happening. Must remember not to get carried away. Because if that 2.2M happens,a pac fan will now have ammunition against the talking briefcase.

[Doctor_Tenma]

It'll do 1.1-1.2M, around there I believe.

Cotto name is bigger then people think, ppl are gettin the image that cotto will only do 500k because of the marg-cotto ppv which did bout 600k or so buys. What people dont understand is no one really knew margarito. I mean really, before cotto who the f knew margarito? Cotto made margarito. Cotto name is huge, but it takes 2 to make a mega fight. This is a mega-fight. Anyone who thinks this fight wont be a success is crazy. Cotto can surely draw 1 mil ppv buys. Pacquiao will easily do over a mil.
